Hi
Battery has died over the weekend need replacement currently on a Halfords 40 ah battery I would like to replace with a more powerful one.Problem is I’ve never seen a battery like this before it’s got a tube coming out of side all the ones I’ve ever seen are the bog standard ones 0F019F62-C74C-4853-95F3-D5E8E71AA0A7.jpegE00ABDB4-9DFA-433D-9377-DA528CEBEF06.jpeg6E7803EB-1BEB-4B3A-927E-838ED583BF2A.jpegpics included
Any help would be most grateful

This thread has all you need, along with some recommended replacements... http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=102157
 
Thanks for the help I never realised they had a vent pipe fitted bought a one from Tayna with 74ah biggest I could get due to the amp being fitted in the battery tray £80
Should get it tomorrow hopefully
I thought it was a tiny cheap battery when I saw it in the tray yesterday

BMW Dealer price for a genuine BMW Replacement, like for like £106 no doubt it will be the correct one for vehicle

There is the input boxes on the right of the Reg No. Have you put in the details of your car?

This is what I fitted, ( it's actually the biggest one I could find that fits properly)

Hi Ronk
Yeah I saw that and entered it in all honesty I hadn’t a clue which to buy only had the car since July this year thought the battery looked a bit on the small side but didn’t know it was that small in a rating.Rang Tayna today very helpful staff and ordered an 74ah one
Cheers
Geoff
 
Not sure if helps or not but here is a pic of my battery and it’s stats.

I have used Tayna, 3 times now very good service and a fraction of the cost of competitors, don't understand why so cheap.
 
Seems that all their batteries are cheap in comparison to other similar companies I’m presuming that the enduroline batteries are their own brand but still come with a 3or 4 years warranty.
Battery fitted perfectly and car started straight away only had to put the clock right
The intelligent battery I’ve got had no effect on recharging so maybe need a more powerful one to keep the new battery up to charge
